To promote literacy across the curriculum and to commemorate World Book Day on Tuesday the 5th of March, Marden staff and students stopped everything for half an hour during PSCHE and read silently, tallying up their pages to see which form class could read the most.

This event also coincided with the launch of ‘On Every Desk A Book’, which has so far had an immediate impact on the Year 7 students who are piloting the policy.
